Arrrrgggghhhhhhhh!

Well not that bad, a couple of interesting bits.

Like the seat liners and the harness going though the seats lower.

Not commenting on the colour, the front lights are better but where are they mounted!!!!!!

I can only think they've drilled right though the front suspension mounts!

Looks as though they've mounted them in the 'lug' opposite the suspension mounts

Unfortunately I am going to be a heathen and say I like the idea and the colour. (That is why I have a black Atom as it is only two colours black and silver.) I particularly like the silver body panel with the screen bubbles on it, which is usually matt black. I do not like the fins on the nose and rear.

On the mark 1, the indicators were mounted on long stalks that simply bolted through the front fibreglass nose moulding. A really bad arrangement as they were always coming loose and to tighten them you had to pull the complete nose off - nightmare.

As far as I can tell here, all they've done is shorten the stalks which will help I guess.

Apart from the seat pads (which really look a bit boy racerish), I really can't see any redeeming features here.

I wonder if this is simply my old car tarted up - or whether they've actually used my old car as a template to make their own....either way, I can't see the point really.

I was interested to see that they've welded a bit on to the side of the chassis to bolt the racing-style wing mirrors on. I can't really see how lowering the mirrors out of line of sight is going to help, however, I was thinking about looking at biker bar end mirrors (but bolted on in the standard place).

I was also thinking about using these as replacement driving lights



They're not legal as they won't dip, but they'll look corking and match what's already there on the sidelight and indicator dept. As soon as I have a couple of hundred quid to waste, I'll consider it...

The alternative is to somehow attach these to the indicator bars



and they would replace the lamps already there as they include beam, dip, indicator, and side repeaters!



£300 a pair and they don't look too sexy in pics - might look better on the car, though
